Location, Location, Location: A Subnautica Volcano Base

Share this:

A fair few people said they wanted a little tour of my Subnautica [official site] Volcano Base so I’ve made a quick video to show it off – especially the garden which is packed with bioluminescent plantlife!

That save is actually now outdated so you’ll see a few glitches – the glass on the observatory looks like it’s missing at one point – but I wanted to record it before I abandon it for a new one!

…but…setting up near the volcano in the safe shallows and NOT having any thermal plants? Ay ay ay, I hope next volcano base is in a more interesting biome, plenty to choose from that might give you some nice fauna to float around your flora.

I said the same when it first became available. I waited it out after they pushed a couple of the “big” updates and gave in almost immediately. It’s one of the few games that’s actually using Early Access properly (compared to the growing pile of them that aren’t) and is still looking like it has more to offer each time they push significant changes.

Neat! Sometimes it’s fun, for a while, to just be a tourist in someone else’s game world.

I’ve kept a skeptical eye on this game for some time, but ‘you can build an evil underwater volcano lair’ (all underwater volcano lairs are at least slightly evil) has an allure that’s hard to deny. Very tempting.

Thanks for sharing, Pip! Lovely video and best article of the day. I haven’t read any other articles yet but I doubt they could be any more lovely and colourful. This game looks so nice. I’ll have to go and grab it myself.

This game wasn’t even on my radar until I read the ‘Buy these games on Steam sale’ article and then this link. I stayed up 5 hours after my bedtime just so I could get that little sub, and I almost got eaten by sharks trying to do it. Now I gotta find that Moonpool so I can upgrade it! There goes my day…
